महिलाओं में गर्भपात के बाद हार्ट अटैक का खतरा 40 प्रतिशत बढ जाता है

हर साल दुनिया भर में लगभग 12 लाख लोग हार्ट अटैक या हार्ट से जुड़ी बीमारीयों से मर जाते है। यह बीमारी अमीर हो या गरीब को प्राभावित करता है। बहुत से लोग यह सोचते है कि ये बड़े बुजुर्गो को होता हैं। पर ऐसा नहीं है। ये किसी को भी कभी हो सकती है। खास कर लोगों का माना है कि यह पुरूषों अधिकतर होता है। बल्कि महिलायें में इसका खतरा सबसे ज्यादा होता है क्योंकि माॅनोपोज के बाद दिल के दौरे और दिल से जुड़ी बीमारी की आशांका बहुत बढ़ जाती है। 

एक शोध के अनुसार महिलाओं में गर्भपात के बाद हार्ट अटैक का खतरा 40 प्रतिशत बढ जाता है। इसके साथ मृतप्रसव के बाद भी हार्ट अटैक का खतरा 3ण्5 गुना बढ जाता है।

उन महिलाओं को जिन्हे पीसीओस है उनमें हार्ट अटैक खतरा जिन महिलाओं को यह बीमारी नहीं है से 5 से 7 गुना अधिक होता है। पीसीओस से ग्रसित महिलाओं में गर्भपात होने का खतरा भी अधिक होता है।

पुरुषों की तुलना में महिलाओं को एकमात्र लाभ एस्ट्रोजेन हार्मोन के रूप में मिलता है। लेकिन रजोनिवृति के बाद एस्ट्रोजन का स्तर घट जाता है और इसलिए इससे मिलने वाली सुरक्षा भी कम हो जाती है और रजोनिवृति के दस साल बाद हार्ट अटैक का खतरा और भी अधिक बढ जाता है।

What Every Woman Needs To Know About Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer - the cancer of ovaries has been known as a ‘silent killer' in the past because it's hard to diagnose. Its symptoms are:

• Persistent tummy or pelvic pain
• Increased tummy size or persistent bloating – not bloating that comes and goes
• Difficulty eating and feeling full quickly

Some women may also experience other symptoms like:

• The need to wee more frequently
• Changes in bowel habit
• Extreme fatigue or pain

If you have these symptoms more than 12 times in a month, you should seriously consider going to see your doctor.

According to the American Cancer Society about 1 in 75 women will get ovarian cancer in her lifetime, but young women are rarely affected. The risk escalates starting at age 63

What You Should Know About Male Fertility

When we talk about sperm quality, this means the amount of sperm contained with the

semen, and the motility, or ability to move, of the sperm, which impacts the capacity of the sperm to reach and fertilise the egg. What can men do to help ensure that their sperm are fighting fit? Here are a few areas where some simple health-boosting lifestyle changes could help to put you in the best position to conceive as a couple.

Stress

There’s some conflicting information out there on whether or not stress affects the health of sperm. While it’s not clear whether stress can decrease sperm count, high stress levels are certainly likely to put a relationship under strain, which could in turn make the process of trying to conceive more fraught.

Smoking

We all know that smoking isn’t great for your health in general. But if you’re trying for a baby it could be a good time to kick the habit altogether, as there’s a link between smoking and poorer quality sperm. Quitting smoking also has the effect of improving blood flow,

Do this to improve your IVF success rate

Losing excess weight before undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment can improve pregnancy and birth outcome. The women with normal weight (BMI below 20) had higher live birth rates (38.6 percent) and embryo implantation (40.4 percent) compared to obese women (BMI above 30 -27.7 percent and 30.9 percent respectively). A body mass index (BMI) of 19 to 25 is considered to be the ideal weight for conceiving. A healthy body and optimum weight during pregnancy is crucial for having a smooth pregnancy and delivering a healthy child.

According to the WHO 1.2 billion people worldwide are officially classified as overweight. According to recent study 70% of India's urban population is obese and comes under overweight category. Both underweight and overweight women and men suffer from a higher incidence of infertility. I see at least 10 patients in a day coming to me for infertility out of which 3 to 4% are obese. Women who are obese are also at a greater risk for pregnancy complications like having a C-section, giving birth to a large baby or even developing gestational diabetes and hypertension. There are numerous potential complications for obese women trying to get pregnant. Some of these include:

Lower response to medication used to regulate or initiate ovulation.Greater need for carefully titrated dosing of medication, especially in patients with polycystic ovaries (PCO).

Can’t get pregnant, surprising facts to know

It is estimated that globally between 60-80 million couples suffer from infertility every year,

of which (IVF) may be the only option, it’s important to know some of the very common causes of infertility. Probably between 15- 20 million are in India alone says ICMR Bulletin. It could be very disappointing every month to get a negative pregnancy test especially when you are trying hard to get pregnant. But before assuming that in vitro fertilization

Here are the five possible facts why you might be struggling with infertility and what you can do about it.

1. You don’t have enough healthy eggs:

You’re born with a fixed number of eggs but the number and health of your eggs declines as you get older. In fact, a healthy and fertile 30-year-old has only 20 percent chances of getting pregnant each month, according to a report published in American Society for Reproductive Medicine. If you are consuming fertility drugs then number of eggs further decreases.

Eating for Fertility

Earlier also we talked about the fertility diet but it's not only what you eat for your fertility, but how you eat too is also important. Too many of us are eating too late in the day or when we go to bed at night, we're meant to digest our day, not our dinner. Our lifestyle and health do not support fertility, particularly when we are waiting. It is very important to remember that the preparation of food itself is a bit like alchemy. What you eat affects everything in your life, from your body and mood to your risk of certain diseases. But, it turns out, that's not all nutrition can impact: New research has shown that the types of food you consume can also play a role in your fertility. Try these simple tips for preparing your food and the results will certainly follow: 

Trying to conceive? First quit smoking

If you are a chain smoker and trying to get pregnant then please stop smoking as cigarette

smoking is harmful to the ovaries, and the degree of damage is dependent upon the amount and length of the time a woman smokes or is exposed to a smoked environment. Nicotine and other harmful chemicals in cigarettes interfere with the body’s ability to create estrogen, a hormone that regulates folliculogenesis and ovulation. Female smokers also have decreased rates of fertility and decreased fallopian tube function. It not only can lead to all kinds of serious problems with the baby but also reduces the chances of IVF producing a live birth by 34% and increases the risk of an IVF pregnancy miscarrying by 30%. A pregnant woman who smokes also adds a risk to pregnancy. If you smoke for many years or smoke many cigarettes per day, your risk for fertility problems is increased. When you smoke, more than 7000 chemicals spread throughout your entire body and all of your organs. This can lead to serious fertility problems like blocked fallopian tubes, damage to your reproductive organs, premature

Stress Impacts Male Fertility

Stress is the most over used term these days and there are numerous problems that stress causes like asthma, heart problems, constant headaches, obesity, depression and many more. Infertility is said to occur when a couple fails to conceive despite of one year of trying without any protection. Many researches in the past have shown the results that stress is the main factor that causes infertility in men. One of the very popular myth is that infertility is always a woman’s problem. In fact out of 100% nearly 30% of all infertility cases, the cause is attributed to a problem in the male, 30% of cases, the cause is attributed in female and 40% to both combined male and female factors. The main cause of male infertility is the abnormalities in sperm which includes low sperm production or immobile sperm. In addition to this one’s lifestyle plays a pivotal role in fertility levels. In today’s time stress is
